A righteous is someone who wishes to justify the Creator in all His actions. They may not yet be fully capable of justifying Him, but they already have the desire to do so to some extent. A person cannot immediately feel oneself as righteous; he always starts from the opposite state, as wicked.

You must clearly feel what you receive from the Creator, what your desires and intentions are, and where they are directed, and you will feel yourself to be even more wicked and only wish to receive for your own sake.

Question: What do we do with the wicked within us?

Answer: We wish to turn them into righteous.
